I used to love to hear JSU play Knights by Night back in the 90s. All the high school bands were playing it including mines. Everybody was playing Cameo songs
Look, this season is a transition for Alcorn’s band!!! It is all coming together for them musically then ever before in a long time!!! Alcorn has never just sounded completely horrible! The main thing with them is the tuning, the balance and them needing updates on some of their instruments!! Now, we hear the evidence of Alcorn sounding the best they ever sounded this season!!
Both Bands Did Amazing, Southern always got antics when someone come on they home field, lights, playing while the away band coming in, that’s just Southern 🤣😂
@@theronwright1413 but yet all of y’all favorite bands still struggle to beat Taylor …that’s why people say yall are hating …Taylor been directors for 7 years now and yall still throw haymer and Brian in this man face every chance yall get ….7 years and yall still commenting this …what does this say about the rest of the SWAC programs who still brings their person best to take Southern down and still fail is the question ?
There was not much time for a zero quarter because of two main things: 1. It was SU's Homecoming and there was lots going on, introducing the court etc. and Alcorn marched in when all of that was happening. They were able to play maybe a song or two before the game started.
Question: For all those who continue to comment on the Juke Box's song book or the arrangements or the directors...have any of you ever had the experience in marching in a band such as SU or any SWAC, MEAC or hbcu bands worth mentioning? Are you even just a musician, teacher, writer/arranger, etc. As it has been said by many in the past, someone will always have a problem with the Juke Box. In the REAL traditional days the comments and criticism was they just play loud...no control...no dynamics. At that time the audience and/or followers were in love with a power band who consistently played the top 40. You say , Haymer this or Brian this or Taylor that, etc. 'What is it do you people actually want? I am just curious. What is it you all want the Juke Box to do, play, look, etc., to just be damn happy and proud of your band. SU Marching Band actually has a clean sound and plays songs which highlights the member musicianship, the director's writing skills and overall musicality. It is not easy, especially now in this NEW School era which has no real music. This generation is all rap. We have few artists who still sing ballads and perform with bands and instruments in a live setting. THERE IS NOTHING WORTHY TO WRITE for marching bands, not really. This is why directors have decided to go back and find songs with substance, but have all the elements of a great musical arrangement, but most of all is popular. Yet, there are hundreds of songs, unwritten, unplayed which are not apart this era or generation. You have to know it is out there and then want to write it. And then, some of you still may not recognize it because of your age or lack of certain artists or songs. One comment was said about Southern being the standard but others are getting too close. People, if you know any history of SWAC marching bands you really would know all these bands now have former SU Juke Box members as their directors or on their staff. The Southern University Marching Band REALLY is often imitated but never duplicated. In a previous comment, someone said Southern does basic step 2 drills and they were bored with their half time shows. Its funny how other bands continue to do some variation of ALL their drills and get praises for their performances while you continue to bash Southern for just being Southern. They are not like any one else. If you pay attention, everyone else is like them, same as most bands and some high schools near or in the State of Mississippi or Alabama copy JSU's marching style and damn sure bite off their drum majors. The Juke Box has always had ONLY ONE drum major and no matter how good he is, some of you complain of him too. Why People? And all the talk about how good Brain Simmons was at SU and how he is missed. Ok, Brian was a good dude, but people leave for personal reasons. Funny how no one complained about Brian going to TxSU and incorporating SU's style of marching for their band....hhhhhmmmm...often imitated but never duplicated. Think about it. Also, why has Brian been seen attempting to be incognito at SU games listening in at 5th quarter? whats up with that? He sure in the hell was at Homecoming watching and listening. Bottom line people, there are just certain things the Juke Box will never do. The main thing is, be like anyone else. So, weak trumpet section or not, this band will perform and entertain an audience who appreciates them and respects them for what they do. For all others, I guess you will just continue to complain. Taylor and his staff are who they are? Each has a different style and brings different levels of musicianship with a unique sound to the Juke Box. Sure they could play more music people know, but it would not be too many current songs. Music never gets old, except some rap, but RnB has no expiration. If it did, MAZE and Frankie Beverly would not be remembered the way they are being honored now. There are hundreds of power, rhythmic and grooving songs which can be played. It's all in what these director's goal is week to week. In conclusion, is it just me or does EVERY or band seem to sound it's best or go all out when it goes against the Juke Box? Interesting.
@@BraylondVlogs Alcorn was the first HBCU to have a Caucasian female being apart of the auxiliary band in any capacity and she was also a Golden girl! This was back in the 80s!! There were also several causasian girls who were golden girls in the 2000s decade. Two of them were from Russia and I believe another one was from Germany.
The biggest problem for SU has been inconsistency in their program for the last two years. Arrangements are hit or miss, song selection are often questionable and there doesn’t seem to be any game where all the sections are executing. In 2022, SU had all of the above. It was a fantastic season for the Juke! Todd is amazing at SU right now! His arrangements are fire and you can tell the band loves to play his arrangements…they sound like “Southern”. When he wasn’t in the rotation last year, the arrangements were mid at best. I’m going to be praying that SU makes the necessary adjustments to reclaim their legacy and former glory. I’m an alum from the Dr. Gregg’s era so I have seen the band go through great, good and mid seasons. They will be back!
It appears most of the programs trumpet line is trying to keep up with Jackson and right now this year no no and no Jackson’s trumpet first line is off the hook and I agree just play within your means and one band one sound and alcorn you are alright with your sound you can’t out power SU and even JU
I asked the same question. The band world has been giving free advertising for artists and composers for ages. If it's an issue, bands should stop playing their music.
Alcorn will give jsu problems just like txsu did. Neither band was no match for SU but txsu gave jsu problems with song selection and if alcorn can get 2 or 3 more bangers in the song selection department, they got jsu
Southern narrowly wins. Trumpets are selling. Alcorn on they ass .. they both overall sound amazing. Alcorn definitely relative to southern in terms of sound. Overall balance is better. Southern edged them out with arrangements song selection .
This was a good battle but go southern far as alcorn stop trying to imitate Jackson state cymbals move broo that's not cool ...lol alcorn drummers weak the band got krank but 😮 anyway..but gooo southern💙💙💙💙💙💙
Bro the top 3 bands is all about song selection southern is not alone at the top . When we got txsu jsu and su this is just a song selection battle atp stop being delusional
Didn't he punish yall in 2019? 2021 and 2022? What are you talking about., 2023 was yall only good year. SU punished yall in the 0 quarter and they dayum sholl outdrilled yall, toss up for the 5th. Stop with the nonsense.
@@toysrus701bro what ?? Y’all lost halftime and the 5th them crooked ass lines get yo delusional ass one even espn has jsu over su in rankings so does kb did you not check out his list it’s over for southern . And you just randomly assumed he was a jsu fan and attacked him all ur comments are about jsu . Ur sad and su only won the 5th in 2019 su got punished in the 0 them old azz songs su played
Brian leaving SU is similar to Tom Brady leaving the Patriots 😂.
Get TF Out My Face x Rich Homie Quan 🔥🔥 Alcorn SMASHED that arrangement‼️
the white overlays looked really nice jukebox.
Alcorn came with a big middle finger with that rich homie, and then southern responded with big hug 😂
Them GGs are a SHOWby themselves
Facts I wasn't paying attention to alcorn at all. 😂😂 Only their dancers no cap
@@colandeoonthatrack2969 🤣
I used to love to hear JSU play Knights by Night back in the 90s. All the high school bands were playing it including mines. Everybody was playing Cameo songs
Like I said in another comment section. Alcorn sounds good when they stay in their pocket. They go wrong by doing too much.
Look, this season is a transition for Alcorn’s band!!! It is all coming together for them musically then ever before in a long time!!! Alcorn has never just sounded completely horrible! The main thing with them is the tuning, the balance and them needing updates on some of their instruments!! Now, we hear the evidence of Alcorn sounding the best they ever sounded this season!!
Yeeeh, this is the most polished version I've seen since either 2012 or 2015. Big ups to them 👌🏾
Acorn dropped that rich homie baby on SU head...I'm sorry that was nice! It was Alcorns 4th song...sheesh great job
💜💛💜💛
This battle was not boring! Music selections was on point!
I agree with bro it is a good battle love the songs selection from both band ❤
Both Bands Did Amazing, Southern always got antics when someone come on they home field, lights, playing while the away band coming in, that’s just Southern 🤣😂
that was right at the end of the game. they was doing that because of the win
Whatever loud track that was that Alcorn played that bih was smashing 😂
Improvement from southern! Let’s go. Heard somebody say our trumpets needa hit the transfor portal 😂
Southern living off past hype . The Taylor era has been disappointing
Underwhelming
Every time I say it they say I’m hating
Brian was the man for that job

Ain't nobody reading all that
Alcorn has a caucasian female on the bass line! I was really really shocked!
I think she's going on her third year marching. She's pretty solid on the bass drum 💯

What's the deal with all this copyright stuff. Bands have been writing music to songs forever. What's the big deal now?

What was Alcon playing at 11:28
Icebox by Omarion
Southern selections be solid but they trumpet runs consistently slightly sloppy.
Southern sounds more complete in my opinion
For a long time SOUTHERN has been the standard of SWAC BAND . But somehow they have let other bands get too close for comfort.
Abe vs carver zero quarter pls
On stop giving SU these steels for no reason. That song was good, boring, and not relatable
Yeah I would’ve gave it to Alcorn on that Rich Homie joint.
you SPOT on with this one bro. and i said the same it was a good battle. SU just a lil too polished
